I legit thought he was older than 81, my bad. But yes, either way, both are in the high risk range.
Well at least it was funny. 😁
Look, we all know Biden is basically a bajillion years old. Trump, on the other hand, is so young that he hasn't even been born yet.
It's crazy to put into perspective what a small blip all this is compared to the age of the earth, which has existed since the beginning of existence and will continue until the end of time.
Even our infinite and immeasurable planet is nothing when you compare it to the solar system, which contains everything that's ever existed ever.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, are you sure about that?
No, but I said it like I was
Have you thought about a career in politics?
Gives new context to that saying "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land among the stars."
